The trap isolation technology of our research at first, here will be described before describing embodiment 1.
Figure 54 explanation has the trap isolation structure of two traps of our research.Make Semiconductor substrate 50 with p type monocrystalline, and form an insulation film 51 in the element isolation zone in the first type surface of Semiconductor substrate 50.
N type Impurity Distribution extends to the position, deep so forms dark n trap 52 from the first type surface of Semiconductor substrate 50.N type Impurity Distribution extends to the position more shallow than dark n trap from the master meter of Semiconductor substrate 50 and therefore forms shallow n trap 53.
Form the first type surface extension of common p trap 54 and p type Impurity Distribution in insulation film 51 area surrounded on the scene from Semiconductor substrate 50.In addition, form p trap 55 so that dark n trap 52 encirclements of (its bottom and lateral parts) quilt around it.
Here when the running of routine, though Semiconductor substrate 50 is to be in earthing potential therefore common p trap 54 not to be applied voltage except that 0V, but p trap 55 is surrounded by dark n trap 52 and isolates with Semiconductor substrate 50 electricity, so can supply with the desirable voltage that is different from the voltage that Semiconductor substrate 50 is applied, for example negative voltage to p trap 55.
Here will describe by using two masks to form the process problem of above-mentioned well structure.Figure 55 represents the cross section structure of trap, is formed with n trap 57a and 57b and than n trap 57a and shallow p trap 58a and the 58b of 57b in cross section structure in p N-type semiconductor N substrate 56.
(bottom and lateral parts) surrounded by n trap 57b around the shallow p trap 58b, so shallow p trap 58b and Semiconductor substrate 56 electricity are isolated.Therefore, can supply with the desirable voltage that is different from the voltage that Semiconductor substrate 56 is applied, for example negative voltage to p trap 58b.
In this process,, realize above-mentioned well structure with two masks by the doping step that forms n trap 57a and 57b being adopted same mask and the doping step that forms p trap 58a and 58b being adopted same mask.
Here, Figure 56 (a) and Figure 56 (b) illustrate that in Figure 55 position A, B and C are in the impurities concentration distribution on the depth direction.Shown in Figure 56 (a), with boron (B) CONCENTRATION DISTRIBUTION at n-MISFET place, position in p trap 58a relatively, A place, position phosphorus (p) CONCENTRATION DISTRIBUTION in n trap 57a must be low and must be high at the position dark from the surface near surface.
This is because form p trap 58a and 58b with shared mask when the doping step, therefore must optimization at position B and C two place's Impurity Distribution.Shown in Figure 56 (b), more precisely, the p trap in the zone at position C place, must in the near surface place, form the differentiated effective p trap 58b of boron concentration and phosphorus concentration, and must consider to form effective n trap 57b at the position dark from the surface.
Yet we have found that this process involves following problem.First problem is that p trap 58b forms by the compensation between boron and the phosphorus, so p type impurity valid density generally is reduced to half of least concentration of p trap 58a.Therefore, the characteristics of transistor that on the Semiconductor substrate first type surface, forms, specifically, threshold voltage is widely different.Need another mask to adjust threshold voltage.
The total impurities concentration that second problem is the p trap increases to about three times up to the impurity concentration of common p trap 58 (a).Therefore, the carrier mobility step-down in the first type surface zone of Semiconductor substrate, so that the characteristics of transistor that on first type surface, forms, specifically, leakage current is step-down correspondingly.
Owing to reduce the factor of high-performance transistor quality, so along with transistor becomes more little, along with trap concentration becomes high more, described so far these two problems become more and more serious.
So the present invention proposes can adjust the well structure of the impurity concentration of each trap under the situation that does not increase mask count.Fig. 1 is the sectional view of the major part in the Semiconductor substrate 1 of explanation the technology of the present invention thought.
Make Semiconductor substrate 1 and in the first type surface of Semiconductor substrate 1, form ditch type element isolation zone 2 with for example boron-doping p type silicon (si) monocrystalline.By being embedded in, isolated film 2b forms isolated area 2 among the ditch 2a that constitutes in the first type surface of Semiconductor substrate 1.Above-mentioned isolated film 2b for example is a silicon oxide film, so that top surface planeization is consequently flushed substantially with the first type surface of Semiconductor substrate 1.
Between these interregional in abutting connection with between the isolated area 2, be formed with trap isolated area (first trap forms the district), second trap forms the district and the 4th trap forms the district.
In the trap isolated area, shallow p trap (the second conduction type shallow well district) 4a that be provided with embedding n trap (the embedding trap of first conduction type) 3a, above n trap 3a, forms and serve as shallow n trap (the first conduction type shallow well district) 5a that surrounds the periphery formation of shallow p trap 4a with self-aligned manner.
By the ion implantation of making the ion injecting mask with shared mask various impurity are mixed Semiconductor substrate 1, form these embedding n trap 3a and shallow p trap 4a.Therefore, form embedding n trap 3a and shallow p trap 4a at position, same plane with in same plane domain.
Here, embedding n trap 3a is mixed with for example phosphorus, though this is not specifically limited.In addition, shallow p trap 4a is mixed with for example boron.
Make shallow n trap 5a form the frontier district between cross-over connection shallow p trap 4a lateral parts and the Semiconductor substrate 1 and extend from the bottom of isolated area 2 and overlapping with embedding n trap 3a.Therefore, shallow p trap 4a is surrounded along its circumference by shallow n trap 5a and embedding n trap 3a fully, so shallow p trap 4a and Semiconductor substrate 1 electricity are isolated.Above-mentioned shallow n trap 5a is mixed with for example phosphorus.
In second trap forms the district, be provided with at embedding n trap (the embedding well region of first conduction type) 3b that forms from the dark position of the first type surface of Semiconductor substrate 1 and shallow p trap (the second conduction type shallow well district) 4b that above embedding n trap 3b, forms with self-aligned manner.
By the ion implantation of making the ion injecting mask with common mask various impurity are mixed Semiconductor substrate 1 and form these embedding n trap 3b and shallow p trap 4b.Therefore, in position, same plane and same plane domain, form embedding n trap 3b and shallow p trap 4b.
Ion implantation by making the ion injecting mask with same mask is mixed Semiconductor substrate 1 simultaneously to the impurity of the embedding n trap 3a in the impurity of embedding n trap 3b and the above-mentioned trap isolated area.Therefore, the impurity of embedding n trap 3b and the Impurity Distribution on depth direction (for example, the degree of depth and zone) are the same with the Impurity Distribution on depth direction (for example, the degree of depth and zone) with the impurity of embedding n trap 3a.
Ion implantation by making the ion injecting mask with same mask is mixed Semiconductor substrate 1 simultaneously to the impurity of the shallow p trap 4a in the impurity of shallow p trap 4b and the above-mentioned trap isolated area.Therefore, the impurity of shallow p trap 4b and the Impurity Distribution on depth direction (for example, the degree of depth and zone) are the same with the Impurity Distribution on depth direction (for example, the degree of depth and zone) with the impurity of shallow p trap 4a.
Form in the district at the 4th trap, be formed with shallow n trap (the first conduction type shallow well district) 5b.Ion implantation by making the ion injecting mask with same mask is mixed Semiconductor substrate 1 to the impurity of the shallow n trap 5a in the impurity of above-mentioned shallow n trap 5b and the above-mentioned trap isolated area.Therefore, the impurity of shallow n trap 5b and the Impurity Distribution on depth direction (for example, the degree of depth and zone) are the same with the Impurity Distribution on depth direction (for example degree of depth and zone) with the impurity of shallow n trap 5a.
Explanation is in the impurities concentration distribution at the position of Fig. 1 D, E, F and G place in Fig. 2 (a) and Fig. 2 (b).
Make the impurities concentration distribution that forms the shallow n trap 5b in the district (at position D place) at the 4th trap extend to the predetermined degree of depth so that the transistorized optimized performance of the p-that above first type surface, forms from the first type surface of Semiconductor substrate 1.
The impurity depth distribution that second trap forms district (at position E place) be included among near the first type surface the shallow p trap 4b distribution and away from the distribution among the embedding n trap 3b in the Semiconductor substrate of first type surface.The distribution of semiconductor first type surface vicinity is adjusted to the concentration that makes the transistorized optimized performance of n-that on first type surface, forms.Make distribution in Semiconductor substrate adjust to electric best isolation of semiconductor substrate and at the shallow p trap of first type surface vicinity.
Is the same in the impurities concentration distribution in the trap isolated area (at position F place) fully with the above-mentioned impurities concentration distribution that second trap forms in the district (at position E place), so omit the description to it.Yet, as shown in Figure 1, form shallow n trap 5a in the periphery of the shallow p trap in the trap isolated area, therefore the impurities concentration distribution at position G place is different with the impurity concentration that second trap forms in the district in this zone.The impurities concentration distribution at the position G place of Fig. 3 explanation in Fig. 1.
In above-mentioned zone, though shallow p trap 4a and n trap 5a form and overlap each other, but the impurities concentration distribution that makes n trap 5a is adjusted to the impurities concentration distribution dark (as shown in figs. 1 and 3) than p well region 4a, therefore as the isolation of the n type among Fig. 3 spacing is illustrated, can make the electricity isolation fully mutually of shallow p trap 4a and Semiconductor substrate 1.
In whole embodiment, this structure example is as putting on predetermined voltage the trap of each trap or appointment by the wiring that forms on the Semiconductor substrate first type surface.
Then, consult the method that Fig. 4 to 7 will describe the semiconductor device in the shop drawings 1.
Fig. 4 is the sectional view of major part in the method for the semiconductor device of shop drawings 1.At first, in the first type surface of Semiconductor substrate 1, make raceway groove 2, then the insulation film of just on the first type surface of Semiconductor substrate 1, forming by silica with CVD (chemical vapor deposition) method or method like that deposition.Make insulation film polishing and complanation and insulation film is only imbedded in the raceway groove 2a with CMP (chemico-mechanical polishing) method or method like that and form element isolation zone 2 thus to form isolated film.
Then, make Semiconductor substrate 1 oxidation, form the insulation film of forming by silicon oxide film or film like that on the zone of exposing in the first type surface of Semiconductor substrate 1.After this, formation exposes trap isolated area (first trap forms the district) and second trap formation district to the open air and covers other regional photoresist figures (first mask) on the first type surface of Semiconductor substrate 1.At this moment, the open end of photoresist figure 7a partly is placed on the isolated area 2.
Fig. 5 represents an example of the plane figure of above-mentioned photoresist figure 7a.Two rectangular graph 7a1 of expression and 7a2 in Fig. 5.Rectangular graph 7a1 is the mask graph that is used for forming trap on trap isolated area side, and its inside is the exposed areas of Semiconductor substrate 1.Rectangular graph 7a2 is used for forming the mask graph that forms trap on district's side at second trap, and its inside is the exposed areas of Semiconductor substrate 1.
After this, as shown in Figure 4, make mask with photoresist figure 7a phosphonium ion is mixed Semiconductor substrate 1 so that can form embedding n trap 3a and 3b at the dark position of Semiconductor substrate 1.At this time, can make embedding n trap 3a and the impurity concentration of 3b adjust to optimum value.
After this, for example carry out the boron ion as mask and inject, therefore can on embedding n trap 3a and 3b, form shallow p trap 4a and 4b in self aligned mode with same photoresist figure 7a.The acceleration energy that is given for the ion injection that forms p trap 4a and 4b is lower than the acceleration energy of the ion injection that is used to form n trap 3a and 3b.Say exactly, form than the dark embedding n well region 3a of the peak region of the impurity concentration among shallow p well region 4a and the 4b and the peak region of the impurity concentration among the 3b.
At this time, according to technological thought of the present invention, not according to adjusting the impurity concentration of shallow p trap 4a and 4b but can irrespectively make the impurity concentration of shallow p trap 4a and 4b adjust to best impurity concentration with embedding n trap with the difference of the impurity concentration of embedding n trap 3a and 3b.As described in inciting somebody to action hereinafter, the above makes the characteristic of improving the element that forms in shallow p trap 4a and the 4b is to realize, for example improves threshold voltage so or leakage current is to realize if element is MOSFET (Metal-oxide-semicondutor FET) or MISFET (metal-insulator semiconductor FET).
Because photoresist figure that need not be discrete but form embedding n trap 3a and 3b and shallow p trap 4a and 4b with single photoresist figure is so can make manufacturing cost far below the manufacturing cost in the situation that forms each trap with discrete photoresist figure.Can reduce because foreign substance causes the incidence of defective, to improve the rate of finished products and the reliability of semiconductor device.
At this moment, can turn the order of the doping of the doping of embedding n trap 3a and 3b and shallow p trap 4a and 4b around.
Next step, as shown in Figure 6, remove photoresist figure 7a shown in Figure 4, just on the first type surface of Semiconductor substrate 1, form the external zones (triple-well forms the district) make in the trap isolated area and the 4th trap then and form to distinguish and expose to the open air and cover other regional photoresist figures (second mask) 7b.At this moment, the open end of photoresist figure 7b part also is placed on the isolated area 2.
Fig. 7 represents an example of the plane figure of above-mentioned photoresist figure 7b.Fig. 7 represents picture frame diagram shape 7b1 and rectangular graph 7b2.In the drawings, dot rectangular graph 7a1 among the photoresist figure 7b and 7a2 so that clearly illustrate that position relation (seeing Figure 4 and 5) with photoresist figure 7a.
Picture frame figure 7b1 is the figure that is used for forming the n trap on the trap isolated area, and the exposed areas of its internal representation Semiconductor substrate 1.Rectangular graph 7b2 is used to form the figure that the 4th trap forms the n trap in the district, and its inside is the exposed areas of Semiconductor substrate 1.
After this, as shown in Figure 6, make mask with photoresist figure 7b phosphonium ion is mixed Semiconductor substrate 1 to form shallow n trap 5a and 5b.At this time, can make the impurity concentration of trap 5a and 5b adjust to optimum value.This just makes the characteristic of improving the element that forms among the shallow n trap 5b realize, if element is MISFET, for example then improves threshold voltage or leakage current and can realize.
Therefore, according to technological thought of the present invention, can irrespectively make the impurity concentration among shallow p trap 4a and 4b and the shallow n trap 5b adjust to optimum value each other, therefore make the electrical characteristics optimization of the element that forms in the zone in shallow p trap 4a and 4b and shallow n trap 5b all the time, when above-mentioned element is MISFET, make for example threshold voltage or leakage current optimization all the time.
In addition, owing to only can form embedding n trap 3a and 3b, shallow p trap 4a and 4b and shallow n trap 5a and 5b with two photoresist figure 7a and 7b, so compare with the process of making the photoresist figure for each trap, can reduce the number that forms photoresist figure step.Specifically, it is possible saving a succession of step for the formation compulsory whirl coating of photoresist figure, exposure, development, cleaning and an oven dry photoresist.This can realize with regard to making the cost that reduces the manufacturing semiconductor device.In addition, owing to can reduce, can realize so improve the rate of finished products of semiconductor device because foreign substance causes the incidence of defective.
Mix so that the shallow n trap 5a of at least a portion in embedding n trap 3a vicinity (promptly, Fig. 6 than lower part) impurity concentration be higher than part impurity concentration among the shallow p trap 4a of (that is, lower corner part of the Fig. 6) in embedding n trap 3a vicinity and in the vicinity of shallow n trap 5a.
Therefore, in the doping step situation that forms shallow well 5a,, also can keep the pn knot among the shallow well 5a even the position of shallow well 5a, is left shallow p trap 4a along the face displacement.Thereby this just makes the puncture voltage that guarantees shallow well 5a guarantee that shallow well district 4a in the trap isolated area and the electric isolating power between the Semiconductor substrate 1 can realize.
Therefore, can provide work semiconductor device very reliably to cause low price to the strong influence of semi-conductor industry.
Then, will consult Fig. 8 to 14 here and describe the situation that technological thought of the present invention is used for DRAM (dynamic random access memory).
Fig. 8 is illustrated in that memory cell in the method for making DRAM forms district (first trap forms the district and triple-well forms the district) and peripheral circuit forms district's (second trap forms the district and the formation of the 4th trap is distinguished).
At first, has the weld zone film 8 that silicon oxide film that thickness is 20nm or film like that are formed by having on the first type surface that resistivity for example is the Semiconductor substrate 1 formed of the p type silicon single crystal of 10 Ω .cm with thermal oxidation method or method like that growth.After this, on weld zone film 8, has the insulation film 9 that silicon nitride film that thickness is 200nm or film like that are formed with chemical vapor deposition method (CVD method) deposition.
Then, formation makes element isolation zone expose the also photoresist figure in cladding element district to the open air on insulation film 9.After this, make etching mask, make insulation film 9 below constitute figure with dry ecthing method with the photoresist figure.
After this, the figure of insulation film 9 forms the raceway groove 2a that is used as isolated area as etching mask in Semiconductor substrate 1 with dry ecthing method.After this, be that 50KeV and dosage are 5 * 10 at for example acceleration energy
12/ cm
2Condition under mix in raceway groove 2a surface in the Semiconductor substrate 1 so that the element isolation zone in Semiconductor substrate 1 with boron ion or suchlike ion and to form raceway groove blocking layer 10.
Secondly, as shown in Figure 9, deposit thickness for example is the silicon oxide film of 400nm or film like that on the first type surface of the Semiconductor substrate 1 that comprises raceway groove 2a surface.After this, make silicon oxide film be planarized to the degree that only is retained among the raceway groove 2a, so that in raceway groove 2a, can form isolated film 2b and element isolated area 2 with CMP method or method like that.Above-mentioned element isolation zone 2 delimited the active area boundary.
Then, as shown in figure 10, for example memory cell forms the district and peripheral circuit forms photoresist figure (first mask) 7c that thickness is about 5 μ m that has that the district exposes and cover other zones to the open air to form the zone that makes n raceway groove MISFEF place on the first type surface of Semiconductor substrate 1.
Figure 11 represents a kind of example of the plane figure of above-mentioned photoresist figure 7c.Figure 11 represents two rectangular graph 7c1 and 7c2.Rectangular graph 7c1 is used for forming the mask graph that district's side forms trap in memory cell, and the exposed areas of its internal representation Semiconductor substrate 1.On the other hand, rectangular graph 7c2 is used for forming the mask graph that forms trap on the edge of distinguishing side at peripheral circuit, and its inside is the exposed areas of Semiconductor substrate 1.
After this, as shown in figure 10, making mask with photoresist figure 7c is 2 at acceleration energy, and 500KeV and dosage are 1 * 10
13/ cm
2Following phosphonium ion of condition or ion like that mix Semiconductor substrate 1 up to dark position so that form embedding n trap 3a and 3b.At this time, can make the impurity concentration of embedding n trap 3a and 3b adjust to optimum value.
After this, make mask three kinds of conditions with same photoresist figure 7c: for example, acceleration energy is that 500KeV and dosage are 7 * 10
12/ cm
2Condition, acceleration energy be that 150KeV and dosage are 5 * 10
12/ cm
2Condition and acceleration energy be that 50KeV and dosage are 1 * 10
12/ cm
2Condition under carry out the boron ion and inject so that on embedding n trap 3a and 3b, form shallow p trap 4a and 4b with self-aligned manner.Therefore, be used to form acceleration energy that the ion of shallow p trap 4a and 4b injects and be lower than the acceleration energy that the ion that is used to form embedding n trap 3a and 3b injects.Say that exactly the impurity concentration peak region of embedding n trap 3a and 3b is darker than the impurity concentration peak region of shallow p trap 4a and 4b.
At this time, in the present embodiment can be not according to the difference of the impurity concentration of embedding n trap 3a and 3b but irrespectively the impurity concentration of shallow p trap 4a and 4b is adjusted to optimum value with embedding n trap 3a and 3b.This just makes the characteristic of the element that improvement forms in shallow p trap 4a and 4b be to realize, if element is MISFET, for example then improving threshold voltage or leakage current is to realize.
In addition, because photoresist figure that need not be discrete but form embedding n trap 3a and 3b and shallow p trap 4a and 4b, so can make manufacturing cost far below with the manufacturing cost in the situation of discrete photoresist figure formation trap with single photoresist figure 7c.Can reduce because foreign substance causes the incidence of defective to improve rate of finished products and the reliability of DRAM.
Can make impurity be incorporated into the order that embedding n trap 3a and 3b and impurity be incorporated into shallow p trap 4a and 4b here, turns around.
Secondly, remove photoresist figure 7c shown in Figure 10, then just as shown in figure 12, on the first type surface of Semiconductor substrate 1, form and make memory cell form peripheral region in the district and peripheral circuit to form p raceway groove MISFET in the district and form the district and expose and cover photoresist figure (second mask) 7d that other regional thickness are about 3 μ m to the open air.
Figure 10 represents the plane figure of above-mentioned photoresist figure 7d.Figure 13 represents picture frame diagram shape 7d1 and rectangle 7d2., in Figure 13, dot rectangular graph 7c1 and 7c2 among the photoresist figure 7c here, so that clearly illustrate that and the position of photoresist figure 7c relation (should consult) along with Figure 10 and 11.
Picture frame figure 7d1 is used for forming the figure that district's side forms the n trap in memory cell, and the exposed areas of its internal representation Semiconductor substrate 1.Rectangular graph 7d2 is used to form the figure that peripheral circuit forms the n trap in the district, and its inside is the exposed areas of Semiconductor substrate 1.
After this, as shown in figure 12, make mask three kinds of conditions with photoresist figure 7d: acceleration energy is 1, and 100KeV and dosage are 1.5 * 10
13/ cm
2Condition, acceleration energy be that 500KeV and dosage are 3 * 10
12/ cm
2Condition and acceleration energy be that 180KeV and dosage are 5 * 10
11/ cm
2Following phosphonium ion of condition or ion like that mix Semiconductor substrate 1 to form shallow n trap 5a and 5b.After this, be that 70KeV and dosage are 2 * 10 at acceleration energy
12/ cm
2Following boron difluoride (BF of condition
2) ion mix Semiconductor substrate 1.Carry out BF for the threshold voltage that is adjusted at the P-MISFET that forms in the peripheral circuit formation district here,
2Ion inject.
At this time, can make n trap 5a and 5b adjust to best impurity concentration in the present embodiment.This just makes the characteristic of the element that improvement forms in shallow n trap 5b realize, if with the example of MISFET as element, for example improves threshold voltage or leakage current so and can realize.
Therefore, can make the impurity concentration among shallow p trap 4a and 4b and the shallow n trap 5b irrespectively adjust to optimum value each other in the present embodiment, therefore make the electrical characteristics optimization of the element that forms in the zone in shallow p trap 4a and 4b and shallow n trap 5b all the time, when above-mentioned element is MOSFET, make for example threshold voltage and the leakage current optimization of element all the time.
In addition, owing to can only form embedding n trap 3a and 3b, shallow p trap 4a and 4b and shallow n trap 5a and 5b with two photoresist figure 7a and 7b, so compare with the process of making the photoresist figure for each trap, can reduce the number that forms photoresist figure step.Specifically, it is possible reducing a succession of step for the formation compulsory whirl coating of photoresist figure, exposure, development, cleaning and an oven dry photoresist.This can realize with regard to making the cost that reduces manufacturing DRAM.In addition, owing to can reduce, can realize so improve the rate of finished products of DRAM because foreign substance causes the incidence of defective.
Therefore, can provide work DRAM very reliably to cause low price to the strong influence of semi-conductor industry.
Then, as shown in figure 14, form the memory cell that forms selection MISFET Q in the district in memory cell, and in peripheral circuit formation district, form P-MISFET Q
pWith n-MISFET Q
n
Select the memory cell of MISFETQ mainly to be included in a pair of n N-type semiconductor N zone 11a and the 11b that p trap 4a upward forms disconnected from each otherly; Form grid insulating film 11i on the active area in Semiconductor substrate 1; With the grid 11g that on grid insulating film 11i, forms.At this moment, select MISFET Q memory cell to have threshold voltage or the threshold voltage like that of 1v.
Form the shallow p trap of selecting MISFET Q memory cell and surrounded by embedding n trap 3a and shallow n trap 5a fully, therefore, shallow p trap 4a and Semiconductor substrate 1 electricity are isolated.Therefore, can supply with the voltage different to shallow p trap 4a with the voltage that puts on Semiconductor substrate 1.At this moment, the lead-in wire that is connected by the upper surface with shallow p trap 4a is supplied with the voltage that puts on shallow p trap 4a.Make shallow n trap or trap like that have similar structure at trap power supply face.
Semiconductor regions 11a and 11b be form to select in the MISFET Q memory cell source/leakage and with arsenic (As) doped regions.Between these semiconductor regions 11a and 11b and just below gate electrode 11g, form the channel region of selecting MISFET Q memory cell.
For example depositing by the order by down narration, n type low-resistance polysilicon membrane, titanium nitride (TiN) film and tungsten (W) film form the gate electrode 11g. that is made up of a part of word line WL
Titanium nitride membrane among the gate electrode 11g is to prevent in order directly to be deposited on the low-resistance polysilicon membrane at W film because the heat treatment in the manufacture method generates the barrier metal film of silicide on contact portion.
The barrier metal film should not be limited to titanium nitride, but conversion in many ways.For example, tungsten nitride also is a kind of excellent materials that is used for the barrier metal film.
W film in the gate electrode 11g that selects MISFET Q memory cell has the effect that reduces lead resistance, thus the sheet resistance of gate electrode 11g (that is word line WL) can be lowered to about 2 to 2.5 Ω/
Such numerical value approximately be tungsten silicide 15 to 10 Ω 2cm resistivity 1/10.
Therefore, the access speed of improvement DRAM is possible.In addition, owing to can increase along the number of the memory cell of a word line WL arrangement, so can reduce the shared area of whole storage area, thereby reduce semiconductor chip size.
In the present embodiment, can arrange for example 512 memory cell along word line WL.Above-mentioned arrangement is compared with the situation that can arrange 256 memory cell along word line WL, can make semiconductor chip size reduce about 6%.In the semiconductor chip of further miniaturization grade, reach make semiconductor chip size reduce 10% or more effect be possible.Therefore, can increase the quantity of the semiconductor chip of each method manufacturing, impel the cost of DRAM to descend.If do not change semiconductor chip size, then improve the element integrated level and can realize.
Grid insulating film 11i for example is a silicon oxide film, and its thickness for example can be adjusted to about 7nm.Grid insulating film 11i also can be oxynitrides (a SiON film).Therefore, can eliminate the interface state in the grid insulating film, and can reduce the electron trap in the grid insulating film, therefore can improve the hot carrier resistance among the grid insulating film 11i.This improves as thin as a wafer with regard to making that the reliability of grid insulating film can realize.
The method of grid insulating film 11i oxynitriding is comprised makes the grid insulating film 11i that is formed by oxidation at NH
3Or NO
2Atmosphere in stand high-temperature heat treatment so that nitrogen is incorporated the method for grid insulating film 11i into; On the face of the grid insulating film 11i that silica or oxide like that are formed, form the method for nitride film; With the nitrogen ion mix the Semiconductor substrate first type surface and then oxidation be doped the method for the Semiconductor substrate that forms grid insulating film 11i; Perhaps mix the polysilicon membrane that forms gate electrode with the nitrogen ion and then the polysilicon membrane that is doped of heat treatment so that nitrogen retention in the method for grid insulating film.
P-MISFET Q in peripheral circuit formation district
pMainly be included in a pair of p N-type semiconductor N zone 12a and the 12b that form on the Semiconductor substrate 1 disconnected from each otherly; The grid insulating film 12i that on Semiconductor substrate 1, forms; With the gate electrode 12g that on grid insulating film 12i, forms.At this moment, above-mentioned MISFET Q
pHave the 0.3V threshold voltage or such as threshold voltage.
Semiconductor regions 12a and 12b form p-MISFET Q
pThe zone of source/leakage.Between these semiconductor regions 12a and 12b and just below gate electrode 12g, form P-MISFET Q
pChannel region.
Make these semiconductor regions 12a and 12b have LDD (lightly doped drain) structure.More precisely, in semiconductor regions 12a and 12b, can form low concentration region (p with lower impurity concentration
-) and have high concentration region (p than higher impurity concentration
+).In the middle of the above-mentioned zone, on edge, channel region outside, form high concentration region forming low concentration region on the channel region edge.In other words, between channel region and high concentration region, form low concentration region.
The gate electrode 11g (word line WL) that gate electrode 12g and memory cell form in the district is configured figure simultaneously and for example forms gate electrode 12g by order deposition n type low-resistance polysilicon membrane, titanium nitride membrane and W film by down narration.

2) ion or ion like that mix Semiconductor substrate 1.
At this time, in present embodiment 2, can make the impurity concentration of p trap 4c adjust to optimum value individually.These electrical characteristics that just make the MISFET that improvement forms in shallow p trap 4c for example threshold voltage and leakage current are possible all the time.
In addition, in present embodiment 2, form n trap 4c and raceway groove blocking layer 10a simultaneously with single photoresist figure 7h.Therefore, can make manufacturing cost far below by the manufacturing cost in the situation that forms n trap 4c and raceway groove blocking layer 10a with discrete photoresist figure.Can reduce because foreign substance causes the incidence of defective to improve the cost rate and the reliability of CMOS logical circuit.
Above-mentioned shallow n trap 4c surrounds at shallow n trap 5e that is formed on this side on its side and 5f.Here, so because shallow in some cases n trap 5d and shallow n trap 5e are close to mutually and above-mentioned raceway groove blocking layer 10a is set isolates with the electricity that the guarantor levies between two shallow n trap 5d and the 5e.
Then, as shown in figure 20, remove photoresist 7h, just remove weld zone film 8 then from the first type surface of Semiconductor substrate 1.After this, as shown in figure 21, make the Semiconductor substrate thermal oxidation have the grid insulating film 21i that thickness is about 8nm on the first type surface of Semiconductor substrate 1, to form.Here, above-mentioned grid insulating film 21i plays the grid insulating film effect of the MISFET that the 3.3V supply voltage drives.

After this, as shown in figure 23, remove photoresist figure 7i, just in the zone of the MISFET that forms the driving of 1.8V supply voltage, form the grid insulating film 22i that forms by silicon oxide film or film like that then.Yet, because driving voltage is low in the above-mentioned zone, so grid insulating film 22i has for example thickness of about 5nm, and thinner than above-mentioned grid insulating film 21i.
Secondly, the predetermined electric conductor membrane of deposition on Semiconductor substrate 1 just constitutes figure so that form gate electrode 12g and 13g on grid insulating film 21i and 22i with photoetching process and dry ecthing method then.
Then, be formed for P-MISFETQ with conventional ion implantation or method like that

Therefore, form P-MISFET Q
pWith N-MISFET Q
nAt this moment, just forming the n-MISFET Q that the 3.3V supply voltage drives
nAnd surrounded by n N-type semiconductor N zone but below the shallow p trap 4b that its lateral parts is electrically connected with Semiconductor substrate 1 the embedding n trap 3b of formation, so not overslaugh of embedding n trap 3b from Semiconductor substrate 1 to shallow p trap 4b service voltage.

After this, on the first type surface of Semiconductor substrate 1, form the layer insulation film 14a that forms by silica or oxide like that and consequently cover P-MISFET Q
pAnd n-MISFETQ
nAfter this, form the connecting hole 15a of the first type surface that exposes Semiconductor substrate 1 with photoetching process and the dry ecthing method predetermined position in layer insulation film 14a.
Then, be deposited over layer insulation film 14a by for example electric conductor membrane of the alloy composition of aluminium, silicon and copper and upward and then just constitute the figure that forms ground floor lead-in wire 7a with photoetching process and dry ecthing method.
After this; the layer insulation film 14b that deposition is made up of for example silica on layer insulation film 14a so that cover ground floor lead-in wire 17a, just for example the wiring step by routine, surface protective film formation step or the like are made the semiconductor device with CMOS logical circuit then.

Figure 41 to 45 is sectional views of major part in the method for the semiconductor device of making one embodiment of the invention; Figure 46 is the top plan view of element assembling in the cache in the semiconductor device of present embodiment 5; Figure 47 is the circuit diagram of the memory cell in the cache; And Figure 57 and 58 is partial sections of the Semiconductor substrate of the problem in our semiconductor device found of explanation.
Before describing present embodiment 5, problem in the trap formation process that we have found will be described at this.
As our research, Figure 57 schematically is illustrated in the partial section in the method for making semiconductor device.Form Semiconductor substrate 60 with p type silicon single crystal, and form ditch type isolated area 61 in the element isolation zone in the first type surface of Semiconductor substrate 60.Above-mentioned formation should not be confined to ditch type isolated area 61 and can be the isolated area that an insulation film is formed.
In Figure 57, the left-hand side of isolated area 61 is the zones that form P-MISFET, and the right-hand side of isolated area 61 is the zones that form n-MISFET.
In such a case, in order to form p trap and n trap in the zone that in Semiconductor substrate 1, forms N-MISFET by application the present invention, as relevant aforesaid embodiment 1 or the like is described, on the first type surface of Semiconductor substrate 60, make the zone that forms n-MISFET is exposed to the open air and cover the photoresist figure 62 in the zone that forms P-MISFET.At this moment the end portion that shows photoresist figure 62 in Figure 57 is given prominence to above isolated area 61.
Here, shown in Figure 57, the side surface of photoresist Figure 62 end portion can be (the anti-taper among Figure 57) of taper.For example when the position of impurity being mixed Semiconductor substrate 60 was dark more, photoresist figure 62 was just done thickly more, and it is remarkable especially that above-mentioned state just becomes.
Shown in Figure 58, when under above-mentioned situation, making mask the impurity that is used to form trap mixed Semiconductor substrate 60 with photoresist figure 62, form in the district at n-MISFET, the Impurity Distribution on the end portion below isolated area 61 sides between p trap 63 and embedding n trap 64 is not inconsistent with the impurity concentration of being scheduled to, but the Impurity Distribution of the end portion of embedding n trap 64 is lifted to the main surface side of Semiconductor substrate 60.Therefore, bad puncture voltage or the problem of sewing appear in trap in research process.Along with the isolated area that is equivalent to frontier district between P-MISFET and the n-MISFET narrows down, above-mentioned problem is even more serious.
In addition, when photoresist figure 62 is made into normal taper, similar problem appears.More precisely, mix the impurity that forms p trap 63 and be incorporated into the zone that forms P-MISFET yet, the Impurity Distribution that therefore is formed on the zone of the P-MISFET below the isolated area 61 is not the Impurity Distribution of being scheduled to.
So in present embodiment 5, in above-mentioned situation, form and not only make n-MISFET form the district but also make P-MISFET form the photoresist figure that the district exposes to the open air, therefore the end portion of photoresist figure can not be set in place in n-MISFET and form on the isolated area 2 of borderline region between district and the p-MISFET formation district, the foreign ion that forms p trap and embedding n trap is injected into n-MISFET forms two zones in district and P-MISFET formation district, after this, n type impurity is injected into p-MISFET and forms the district, thereby form the n trap.
A kind of special example here will be described.With adopting the present invention for example to be applied to have the situation of the semiconductor device of cache technological thought of the present invention is described.
Figure 41 is the sectional view of major part in the method for the semiconductor device of making present embodiment 5.Cache zone (first trap form district) is arranged, do not need embedding trap and the zone (3.3V-NB) that drives with the 3.3V supply voltage and the embedding trap of needs and form zone (formation of first trap is distinguished) what Figure 41 saw there with the 1.8/3.3VMISFET that 1.8V or 3.3V supply voltage drive.
At first, the same with aforesaid embodiment 1 to 4, for example be about the weld zone film 8 of 20nm so that form isolated area 2 with thermal oxidation method or the method like that thickness of forming by silica or oxide like that of on the first type surface of Semiconductor substrate 1, growing.
In the cache zone in isolated area, the width that forms the isolated area 2 of boundary between district and the n-MISFET formation district at P-MISFET is that 0.9 μ m is to 1.5 μ m, its width is narrower than the width of other regional isolated areas 2, therefore can reduce and get over the area that cache memory occupies.
Then, as shown in figure 42, on the first type surface of Semiconductor substrate 1, form and make cache zone (first trap forms the district) and n-MISFET form zone (second trap forms and distinguishes) to expose and cover photoresist figure (first mask) 7j that other regional thickness are about 5 μ m to the open air.
At this moment in present embodiment 5, the P-MISFET in the cache forms the district and is not covered by photoresist figure 7j but expose to the open air.Reason is if the P-MISFET that the end portion of photoresist figure 7i is placed cover the cache district forms the position that district and n-MISFET form the P-MISFET on the isolated area in the frontier district between the district, because it is as indicated above, isolated area is narrow, so can cause above-mentioned problem under different situations.
After this, in order to form embedding n trap 3a and 3b, making mask with photoresist figure 7i is 2 at acceleration energy, and 300KeV and dosage are 1 * 10
13/ cm
2Following phosphonium ion of condition or ion like that mix Semiconductor substrate 1 to its position, deep.At this time, can make the impurity concentration of embedding n trap 3a and 3b adjust to optimum value.
Secondly, in order to form shallow p trap 4a and 4b with self-aligned manner on embedding n trap 3a and 3b, make mask three kinds of conditions with same photoresist figure 7j: acceleration energy is that 450KeV and dosage are 1 * 10
13/ cm
2Condition, acceleration energy be that 200KeV and dosage are 3 * 10
12/ cm
2Condition and acceleration energy be that 50KeV and dosage are 1.2 * 10
12/ cm
2Condition under carry out boron ion inject.
At this time, in present embodiment 5, can make the impurity concentration of shallow p trap 4a and 4b and embedding n trap 3a and 3b irrespectively adjust to optimum value.Therefore, the electrical characteristics of improving the MISFET form in shallow p trap 4a and 4b for example can realize by threshold voltage and leakage current.
In addition, photoresist figure that need not be discrete but form embedding n trap 3a and 3b and shallow p trap 4a and 4b with single photoresist figure 7j.Therefore, rate of finished products and the reliability that reduces manufacturing cost and raising semiconductor device significantly can realize.
In above-mentioned step, p trap 4a also forms in the district at the P-MISFET of cache and forms.To avoid above-mentioned impurities concentration distribution problem takes place in n-MISFET forms shallow p trap 4a in the district be possible with regard to making for this.
Secondly, remove photoresist figure 7j shown in Figure 42.As shown in figure 43, the external zones (triple-well forms the district) of the shallow p trap 4a in the zone that on the first type surface of Semiconductor substrate 1, make external zones (triple-well forms the district) that the P-MISFET make in the cache forms the shallow p trap 4a in district, the cache, needs embedding trap and need the P-MISFET in the zone of embedding trap to form photoresist figure (second mask) 7k that thickness is about 4 μ m that has that district (the 4th trap forms and distinguishes) exposes and cover other zones to the open air.
Then, in order to form shallow n trap 5g to 5k in Semiconductor substrate 1, make mask two kinds of conditions with photoresist figure 7k: for example acceleration energy is that 360KeV and dosage are 1.3 * 10
13/ cm
2Condition and acceleration energy be that 70KeV and dosage are 1 * 10
12/ cm
2Following phosphonium ion of condition or ion like that mix above-mentioned Semiconductor substrate 1, be that 70KeV and dosage are 2 * 10 at acceleration energy then
12/ cm
2Condition under with boron difluoride (BF
2) mix.At this moment, use BF
2Carrying out ion injects in order that adjust the threshold voltage of P-MISFET.
Make ion implantation energy at this time adjust to the intensity that the bottom that makes shallow well 5k reaches embedding n trap 3a.Therefore, in the cache district, can form shallow n trap 5k and shallow p trap 4a.In addition, above-mentioned shallow p trap 4a is by shallow n trap 5k and 5g and embedding n trap 3a encirclement, so that shallow p trap 4a and Semiconductor substrate 1 electricity isolation.Therefore, can supply with the voltage different to above-mentioned shallow p trap 4a with the voltage that puts on Semiconductor substrate 1.For example supply with 0 to 1.8V voltage to above-mentioned shallow p trap 4a.
Embedding n trap 3a and shallow n trap 5g and shallow n trap 5k electricity are isolated, and therefore can supply with different voltage to them.Specifically, can supply with about 3.3V and supply with the voltage that for example is about 1.8V to shallow n trap 5k to embedding n trap 3a and shallow n trap 5g.
It is overlapping with the upper part of embedding n trap 3a and be electrically connected with embedding n trap 3a to form the lower part of above-mentioned shallow n trap 5g above-mentioned shallow n trap 5g with the side that is enclosed in the shallow p trap 4a in the cache district.The width of shallow n trap 5g for example is about 4 μ m, though this is not particularly limited.
Form that these shallow n trap 5i and 5j form the side of the shallow p trap 4a in the district with the MISFET that surround to need embedding trap and the lower face of shallow n trap 5i and 5j and overlapping with the upper part of embedding n trap 3a and be electrically connected with embedding n trap 3a.Say that exactly above-mentioned shallow p trap 4a is by shallow n trap 5i and 5j and embedding n trap 3a surrounds and isolate with Semiconductor substrate 1 electricity.Yet, supply with routine 0V voltage (GND) to above-mentioned shallow p trap 4a as Semiconductor substrate 1.Though the voltage that puts on shallow p trap 4a equals to put on the voltage of Semiconductor substrate 1, shallow p trap 4a isolates with Semiconductor substrate 1 electricity, does not therefore accept the noise from Semiconductor substrate 1.Therefore, the functional reliability of improving the element that forms in shallow p trap 4a can realize.
In shallow n trap 5K, form the P-MISFET in the cache.More precisely, form in the district, when forming other shallow n trap 5g, can make the conduction type transoid of shallow p trap 4a to 5j at the P-MISFET of cache.
In present embodiment 5, owing to the same with the reason of aforesaid embodiment 1 to 4, the electrical characteristics that make the MISFET that forms in the 5k at shallow p trap 4a and 4b and shallow n trap 5g all the time for example threshold voltage and leakage current optimization also can realize.
In addition, only just can form embedding n trap 3a and 3b, shallow p trap 4a and 4b and shallow n trap 5g to 5k with two photoresist figure 7j and 7k.This just makes that the rate of finished products of the manufacturing cost that reduces semiconductor device and raising semiconductor device is the same with aforesaid embodiment 1 to 4, can realize.
When carrying out next step, further improvement adjustment of the impurity concentration of n trap 5k in cache is feasible.More precisely, after removing photoresist figure 7k shown in Figure 43, as shown in figure 44, formation exposes the P-MISFET formation district in the cache to the open air and covers other regional photoresist figure 7m.
In addition, in order to form shallow n trap 5k, make mask with photoresist figure 7m phosphonium ion or ion like that are mixed Semiconductor substrate 1.At this moment, regulate the dosage of foreign ion to correct conduction type.Regulate ion implantation energy so that the lower part of shallow n trap 5k reaches embedding n trap 3a.This just makes in the cache district and to form shallow n trap 5k and shallow p trap 4a can realize.
After this, remove photoresist figure 7k shown in Figure 43 or photoresist figure 7m shown in Figure 44.Then, as shown in figure 45, form grid insulating film 12i and 13i simultaneously so that in the zone of shallow p trap 4a and 4b, form n-MISFET Q
nIn the zone of 5k, form P-MISFET Q with Qnd and at shallow n trap 5h
pAnd Qpr.
After this, the wiring step of the routine of the semiconductor device by cache is housed and conventional surface protective film form step and make semiconductor device.
Figure 46 represents so to be manufactured on the component placement top plan view of the memory cell of the cache in the semiconductor device.Figure 47 represents the circuit diagram of above-mentioned memory cell.

At first, the same with aforesaid embodiment 1 to 5, grow on the first type surface of Semiconductor substrate 1 with thermal oxidation method and to weld film 8, just form isolated area 2 then.In the cache zone in above-mentioned isolated area 2, the width that forms borderline isolated area 2 between district and the n-MISFET formation district at P-MISFET for example is about 0.9 μ m to 1.5 μ m, the same with embodiment 5, its width is narrower than the width of other isolated areas 2 in regional.
Then, as shown in figure 49, on the first type surface of Semiconductor substrate 1, form photoresist figure 7j.In present embodiment 6, the P-MISFET formation district in the cache zone is also covered by photoresist figure 7j and is exposed to the open air.
After this, in order to form embedding n trap 3a and 3b, 7j makes mask with the photoresist figure, with aforesaid embodiment 5 in dosage and inject the same dosage of energy and inject energy phosphonium ion or ion like that are mixed Semiconductor substrate 1 to its position, deep.At this time, can make the impurity concentration of embedding trap 3a and 3b adjust to optimum value.
Secondly, in order on embedding n trap 3a and 3b, to form shallow p trap 4a and 4b with self-aligned manner, with same photoresist figure 7j do mask with embodiment 5 in dosage and inject the same dosage of energy and inject the ion injection that energy carries out boron.
At this time, present embodiment 6 is the same with embodiment 5, can make the impurity concentration of shallow p trap 4a and 4b and embedding n trap 3a and 3b irrespectively adjust to optimum value, improves the electrical characteristics of the MISFET in shallow p trap 4a and 4b thus.
In addition, owing to just can form embedding n trap 3a and 3b and shallow p trap 4a and 4b with single photoresist figure 7j, so the same with embodiment 5, the rate of finished products and the reliability that reduce manufacturing cost and raising semiconductor device significantly can realize.
Secondly, as shown in figure 50, remove photoresist figure 7j shown in Figure 49, just on the first type surface of Semiconductor substrate 1, form photoresist figure 7k then.Form above-mentioned photoresist figure 7k to expose for example p-MISFET of shallow p trap 4a formation district in cache to the open air, the external zones of shallow p trap 4a, form the zone that does not need embedding trap (3.3V-NB) of the P-MISFET in the 3.3V group, form the zone of the embedding trap of needs of the p-MISFET in 1.8V or the 3.3V group, 1.8v or the outer peripheral areas of the embedding trap of needs of the shallow p trap 4a in the 3.3v group, the p-MISFET that forms in the district (HV) at the MISFET of high-breakdown-voltage group forms district (HV), the external zones of shallow p trap 4a in the MISFET of high-breakdown-voltage group forms district (HV) and form the external zones of the shallow p trap 4a in distinguishing and cover other zones in memory cell.
Then, in order to form shallow n trap 5g to 5j, 5m, 5n, 5p and 5q and shallow well 5k1 in Semiconductor substrate 1, make mask three kinds of conditions with photoresist figure 7k: acceleration energy is 1, and 300KeV and dosage are 1 * 10
13/ cm
2Condition, acceleration energy be that 600KeV and dosage are 5 * 10
11/ cm
2Condition and acceleration energy be that 200KeV and dosage are 5 * 10
11/ cm
2Following phosphonium ion of condition or ion like that mix above-mentioned Semiconductor substrate 1, then, be that 70KeV and dosage are 2 * 10 at acceleration energy

2Ion inject in order that adjust the threshold voltage of P-MISFET.
Form these shallow n trap 5i and 5j so that be enclosed in the side that the MISFET that needs embedding trap forms the shallow p trap 4a in the district, the lower part of shallow n trap 5i and 5j and shallow n trap 5i overlapping with the upper part of embedding n trap 3a and 5j are electrically connected with shallow n trap 3a.In other words, shallow p trap 4a is by shallow n trap 5i and 5j and embedding n trap 3a encirclement, so that shallow p trap 4a and Semiconductor substrate 1 electricity isolation.Therefore, can supply with the voltage different to shallow p trap 4a with the voltage that puts on Semiconductor substrate 1.For example apply 0 to-3.3V voltage to above-mentioned shallow p trap 4a.
The MISFET that forms shallow n trap 5n and 5m so that be enclosed in the high-breakdown-voltage group forms the side of the shallow p trap 4a in the district (HV), and the upper part of the lower part of shallow n trap 5m and 5n and embedding n trap 3a is overlapping, and shallow n trap 5m and 5n are electrically connected with embedding n trap 3a.Shallow p trap 4a is by shallow n trap 5m and 5n and embedding n trap 3a surrounds and isolate with Semiconductor substrate 1 electricity.Therefore, can supply with the voltage different to shallow p trap 4a with the voltage that puts on Semiconductor substrate 1.For example supply with 0 to-12V voltage to above-mentioned shallow p trap.
Form shallow n trap 5p and 5q so that be enclosed in the side of the shallow p trap 4a in the memory cell of high-breakdown-voltage group, the lower part of shallow n trap 5p and 5q and shallow n trap 5p overlapping with the upper part of embedding n trap 3a and 5q are electrically connected with embedding n trap 3a.Shallow p trap 4a is by shallow n trap 5q and 5q and embedding n trap 3a surrounds and isolate with Semiconductor substrate 1 electricity.Therefore, can supply with the voltage different to above-mentioned shallow p trap 4a with the voltage that puts on Semiconductor substrate 1.For example supply with 0 to-12V voltage to above-mentioned shallow p trap 4a.
In addition, in shallow well 5k1, be formed with the P-MISFET of cache.Yet in present embodiment 6, undoping is to be not enough to finish the complete transoid of conduction type.When such state, the same with aforesaid embodiment 5, can mix fully.
In present embodiment 6, can make shallow p trap 4a and 4b, shallow n trap 5g adjust to optimum value independently one by one to the impurity concentration of 5j, 5m, 5n, 5p and 5q and shallow well 5k1, so that the electrical characteristics that make the MISFET that forms in the zone of 5j, 5m, 5n, 5p and 5q at trap 4a and 4b and shallow n trap 5g all the time for example threshold voltage and leakage current optimization.
In addition, owing to only just can form embedding n trap 3a and 3b, shallow p trap 4a and 4b and shallow n trap 5g to 5j, 5m, 5n, 5p and 5q with two photoresist figure 7j and 7k, so the same with aforesaid embodiment 1 to 5, the rate of finished products that reduces the manufacturing cost of semiconductor device and improve semiconductor device can realize.
Therefore, can be equipped with the semiconductor device of cache and high-breakdown-voltage MISFET, thereby semi-conductor industry is produced strong influence with low-cost production with high reliability.
Secondly, remove photoresist figure 7k shown in Figure 50.After this, shown in Figure 51, the zone that makes the zone of the embedding trap of needs make the zone that forms the P-MISFET in the cache, to form the P-MISFET in the 3.3V group and form the embedding trap of needs of the P-MISFET in the 1.8V/3.3V group is exposed and is covered other regional photoresist figure 7m.
Then, in order to form impurity concentration or the optimized semiconductor regions 26a of conduction type that makes shallow n trap 5k1 and shallow n trap 5h and 5i, making mask with photoresist figure 7m is that 360KeV and dosage are 1.3 * 10 at for example acceleration energy
13/ cm
2Following phosphonium ion of condition or ion like that mix Semiconductor substrate 1.
The dosage of adjustment foreign ion in the P-MISFET of cache forms the district so that the conduction type of Semiconductor substrate 1 (shallow p trap 4a) from p type transoid to the n type.In addition, make the optimized adjustment of impurity concentration of shallow n trap 5h and 5i.
Therefore, can in the cache zone, form shallow n trap 5k and shallow p trap 4a.Shallow n trap 5k becomes the overall area of shallow well 5k1 and semiconductor regions 26a in above-mentioned situation.Shallow p trap 4a is surrounded by shallow n trap 5k and 5g, isolates with Semiconductor substrate 1 electricity, therefore can supply with the voltage different with the voltage that puts on Semiconductor substrate 1 by shallow p trap 4a.For example shallow well is applied 0 to-1.8V voltage.
Because high-breakdown-voltage MISFET is set, carry out simultaneously so adjust the doping that doping step and stage afterwards of the conduction type of the shallow well 5k among the P-MISFET of cache require in other zones.This just makes the occurrence rate of being avoided increasing the quantity of mask and reducing foreign substance is possible, thereby improves rate of finished products.
After this, remove the photoresist figure 7m shown in Figure 51.Shown in Figure 52,, in shallow p trap 4a and 4b, form p N-type semiconductor N zone 26b with photoetching process and ion implantation then in order to make the impurity concentration optimization.Semiconductor regions 26b is mixed with for example boron.
The reason that forms semiconductor regions 26a or 26b will be described below.Though the MISFET of MISFET, the 1.8V of 3.3V group group and the trap impurity concentration of the MISFET in the cache be substantially equate mutually with the trap impurity concentration of MISFET in the high-breakdown-voltage group be inequality, so they must be than the trap impurity concentration height of high-breakdown-voltage group.
After this, shown in Figure 53, on the first type surface of Semiconductor substrate 1, form grid insulating film 12i, 13i and 21i simultaneously.Then, in shallow p trap 4a and 4b zone, form n-MISFET Q
n, Q
NdAnd Q, and form p-MISFET Q in the zone of 5k at shallow n trap 5h
pAnd Q
Pr
The same with embodiment 1 to 5, in the zone that does not need embedding trap, form n-MISFET and below the shallow p trap 4b that is electrically connected with Semiconductor substrate 1, form embedding n trap 3b, therefore can be from Semiconductor substrate 1 to shallow p trap 4b service voltage.
After this, wiring step and the conventional surface protective film by routine forms step manufacturing semiconductor device.Omit the description of the circuit diagram of component placement top plan view in the relevant cache stored unit and relevant memory cell here.Because the same, so omit the relevant description that is included in the cross section structure aspect of the capacitor 19 among the DRAM equally with the description among the aforesaid embodiment 5.
Present embodiment can reach following effect except that the effect of aforesaid embodiment 1.(1) when technological thought of the present invention is applied to make the method for the semiconductor device with the MISFET in the high-breakdown-voltage group, except forming n type or p N-type semiconductor N district 26a and 26b in the trap of the external MISFET of MISFET in the high-breakdown-voltage group so that can compensating impurity concentration deficiency in the trap.(2) when cache, high-breakdown-voltage group MISFET, common MISFET and another memory cell be not go wrong when in shared semiconductor chip, forming.Can simplify manufacture method by the predetermined method of carrying out many zones simultaneously.Therefore, can be by the always synthetic method of making semiconductor device of the method that forms each element be made semiconductor device.
